New Assignment of Projects to Applications - API Compatibility

Warning

This page describes upcoming changes that will affect how Projects are associated with Applications. These changes haven’t yet been implemented in production environments. However, we recommend preparing in advance to be ready when the changes occur.

This page describes the changes to the Checkmarx One REST APIs related to assignment of Projects to Applications.

Previously assignment of Projects to Applications was done based a system of “Rules”. Each Application had a series of rules that defined what characteristics a Project needed to have in order to be assigned to that Application (e.g., any Project with the tag Demo is included in the Application “DemoApp”).

The new functionality will be that Projects are assigned directly to Applications by specifying the Project ID of each Project that you want to assign. It will now be possible to assign Projects to Applications as part of the process of creating Applications, creating Projects, or as a separate action.

Old Workflow

Notice

In the old workflow the order of these two steps was irrelivent.

  • Use POST /applications to create an Application and define rules for assigning Projects to that Application.

  • Use POST /projects to create a Project with charechteristics that fit the rules of an Application.

    The Project is automatically asssigned to that Application.

New Workflow

  1. Use POST /applications to create an Application.

  2. Use POST /projects to create a Project, specifying the Application IDs of the Applications to which it is assigned.

OR

  1. Use POST /projects to create a Project.

  2. Use POST /applications to create an Application, specifying the Project IDs of each of the Projects that you would like to assign to it.

In addition, you can add existing Projects to existing Applications. To add to the existing assignments, use the new endpoints POST /applications/{application_id}/projects or POST /projects/{project_id}/applications. To replace the existing assignments, use the existing endpoints PUT /api/applications/{application_id} or PUT /api/projects{project_id}.

New Workflow for Assigning Projects According to Tags

It is still possible to assign Projects to Applications based on the Project tags, using the following workflow.

  1. Create Projects and assign tags using POST /projects.

  2. Obtain a list of Projects that have a specific tag using GET /projects, with a query parameter filtering for the specific tag.

  3. Create an Application using POST /applications, specifying the list of Project IDs that you want to asssign to the Application.

New Endpoints

  • /api/applications

    • POST /{application_id}/projects - add Projects to an application

    • DELETE /{application_id}/Projects - remove projects from an application

  • /api/projects

    • POST /{project_id}/applications - add applications to a Project

    • DELETE /{project_id}/applications - remove applications from a Project
